Miami Boating Accident Lawyer

If you or a loved one was injured in Miami while aboard a boat or a personal watercraft, you should contact a Miami boating accident attorney as soon as possible. Florida laws protect boating accident victims and ensure those who are hurt or who lose loved ones do not suffer financial losses as a result of a mishap caused by negligence or wrongdoing. To pursue a claim for the compensation that you are entitled to under the law, you need to take certain legal steps to protect your rights. A Miami boating accident lawyer at Steinger, Greene & Feiner will help you navigate the civil justice system so you have the best chance of receiving the full amount of compensation you are due given the nature of your injuries and damages. Our experienced and compassionate lawyers have helped many clients throughout South Florida recover monetary damages after an accident aboard a watercraft. We don’t charge legal fees unless we recover money for you, and we offer free case evaluations so you can understand your options. Our attorneys can also answer essential questions for you including:

Can I make a claim for a Miami boating accident?

What types of compensation can I receive after a Miami boating accident?

How can a Miami boating accident attorney help with my case?

Can I Make a Claim for a Miami Boat Collision?

You can make a claim for a Miami boating accident if:

The accident occurred as a result of someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing

You can prove that the other party was directly responsible for your injuries

You can prove the extent of the damages and losses you experienced

Boat accidents happen for many reasons, ranging from defective vessels to negligent boat maintenance to careless or intoxicated operation. In some cases, you may have a claim against the boat manufacturer if a defective vessel causes your accident. In other circumstances, you can pursue a claim for compensation from the driver of another vessel that hit your boat or even from the driver of the boat that you were a passenger on. A Miami boating accident lawyer will help you determine who was responsible for your boat accident and whether Florida law entitles you to pursue a claim for compensation. If the driver of the boat was your friend and he or she behaved in a negligent way, you shouldn’t hesitate to pursue your claim. Boaters buy insurance and the purpose of the insurance policy is to cover losses that the policyholder causes to others. You won’t be taking money from your friend if you pursue a boat accident claim, but will instead be avoiding significant financial loss by making the insurance company pay for damages.

My case couldn't have been handled better. It was handled in a timely manner - it wasn't rushed. If something ever happened again and I needed an attorney, Steinger, Greene & Feiner would be the first place I would go.
